| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard carbon steel fasteners which can lead to galvanic corrosion. | Always use stainless steel fasteners (ideally 304 or higher grade) when attaching or assembling with 304 stainless steel to prevent corrosion. |
| Not considering the weight of the material during handling and installation. | Utilize appropriate lifting equipment and safety protocols for handling sheets of this gauge and size to prevent injury and damage. |
